Day 2 tasksCreative task

Today your challenge is to build a bridge using materials that you can find in your house. You might use cardboard, paper, straws, lego, toilet tubes... whatever you think might work!

We would love to see pictures of your bridges when you have finished them!

For an extra challenge, test the strength of your bridges. Use small weights (such as pennies, counters or lego pieces), placing them on your bridge one at a time. How many can you get on your bridge before it collapses? Can you rebuild your bridge to make it even stronger next time?
